An operatic musical, in English, about the events in Boston leading up to the War of American Independence, including the Boston Massacre and the 'destruction of tea' in December of 1773. A traditional grand opera with the accessibility of a Broadway show!Synopsis:In the sweep of events leading up to the American Revolutionary war, loyalist Boston Governor Thomas Hutchinson seeks to clamp down on the increasingly rebellious Sons of Liberty. Tea smuggler John Hancock has his ship, "Liberty", seized. Orator James Otis, having given a passionate speech against Writs of Assistance, is attacked by British soldiers. Sam Adams leads the colonists in a boycott of British goods--which the town's women support with their own efforts. Mrs. Adams is forced to quarter a threatening group of redcoats. In an incendiary outbreak of violence, colonists are fired upon by the soldiers in a horrific massacre. A great debate, with the leading agitator Sam Adams fervently defending the Rights of the Colonists, leads to an impasse. And finally in the inevitable climax of open rebellion, Paul Revere leads the epochal event that initiated the American Revolution--the act which preferred the destruction of a tea cargo to the principle of colonial subjugation--the act that no longer bore, but instead began to cast off the mounting injustice.
